Euthanasia Law Used to Kill Alcoholic

The good news is that passing assisted suicide laws leads to a decrease in the number of drunks and sad people. I mean, who wants drunks and sad people around, right? Because you never hear of sad people getting happy or drunk people getting sober. So it's best they slip the bonds of earth.

A 41-year-old man has ended his life by fatal injection rather than carry on living as an alcoholic, in a radical new extension of Holland’s euthanasia regime.
Mark Langedijk decided that death was the only way to escape from his addiction to drink, according to an account published by his brother.
Mr Langedijk set the date for his own death and was joking, drinking beer and eating ham and cheese sandwiches in the hours before his GP arrived at his parents’ home to administer fatal injections, it said.
